Jean Pierre Mifsud Triganza could join Valletta as part of a swap deal that would see Nigerian Alfred Effiong move to Sliema Wanderers on a six month loan deal, according to Sliema Wanderers’ media officer who confirmed that the deal is very close.

Last season Valletta coach Jesmond Zerafa has made no secret of his desire to sign the former Floriana front man, but it now appears a compromise could be in the offing.

Sliema Wanderers is also set to sign Argentinian winger Emilliano Lattes till the end of the season with a further option for another year. The former Msida St Joseph player will start his second adventure with the Blues after he played for them last season in the Europa League competition.

Six placed Birkirkara signed Brazilian winger Jorge Santos Silva on a free transfer after he reached a mutual agreement with Sliema Wanderers. He signed a six month contract with an option for a further year. He’s expected to debut this week against Marsaxlokk.

Brazilian Jackson Lima also is released from his contract and he attracted the interest of Valletta, Hibernians and Tarxien Rainbows. The Citizens are favourites to get his signature first.

Sliema released both players on a free transfer without getting paid anything for them?
Zerafa wants M. Triganza and released R. Fenech? Isn’t it strange? And is Valletta ready to keep Zongo and release Effiong?
